News from work is not good

There are layoffs up on the unit where I used to work. Some of my friends are losing their jobs. What a daft world we live in! We NEED nurses and the powers that be treat them this way. I went through it all back in 1996. It is awful and very stressful. In my case I was able to bump someone who was lower in seniority to me, who in turn bumped someone else. In the long run, I don't think many people actually lost their jobs. It is all an exercise in futility and frustration. My heart goes out to them.
